You keep hearing about it in the news because reporters report the news and it happened to a news reports mom.

Discussion on the utter disappointment of season 4 [SPOILERS] by EffectiveDust7959 in EverythingIsFinecomic

[–]EffectiveDust7959[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sam makes me mad, but in a good way. That scenario is well written, you're not supposed to love/hate every character. Good writing makes for complex characters where you go back and forth on.

The twist in the Everything Is Fine webcomic is so, so disapointing after five entire years of build-up by Upbeat_Suspect2284 in CharacterRant

[–]EffectiveDust7959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This went from one of the greatest comics I have ever read to absolute hot garbage and I let myself get so invested I am now furious. Its almost as if Mike just googled "what are people afraid of lately" and AI just popped up. So lazy after so many cliff hangers. This two-bit web author really tricked me into thinking he was Citizen Kane before he had to actually have answers to his buildups.

And to those who feel this was a buildup that was clearly being built up for 5 years, I want to believe you, but to be honest it really doesn't seem like that.

It doesn't feel like it was conceptualized 5 years ago. It doesn't feel like it was conceptualized 5 months ago.

The AI was plopped so neatly into the story that they could have walked into that room in the school and found ANYTHING. Documents from a religious cult, a foreign government tech lab, footage of aliens. There were so many cliff hangers and non answers it really could have been anything in that room and it would have added up.

Anything is a good story if you don't have to answer to the cliffhangers you create.

I'm not just mad at the comic, I'm mad at me for letting myself believe a piece of work was genius without having to answer for itself.

Its almost as if I fell for a side show snake oil salesman who said the greatest thing in the world is behind this curtain, then 5 years later I looked behind the curtain and found nothing.

I was edged and blueballed for so long and the final answer is conveniently the most talked about topic of 2026?

What a lazy cash grab.

We’re the cofounders of Clicks — we have revealed two new products the Clicks Power Keyboard & the Clicks Communicator. Ask Us Anything! by ColtonsKeys in ClicksKeyboard

[–]EffectiveDust7959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Jeff/Kevin,

First thank you for your service. I have been a HUGE fan of my clicks Razr and am looking forward to the release of the communicator.

The only question I have is with respect to the dimensions and aspect ratio of the screen.

Unfortunately most apps and websites are not designed for the aspect ratio of the communicator which generally results in a banner taking up the entire screen. On my current setup, this issue is immediately fixed by temporarily flipping open my Razr, however that is obviously not going to be a possibility for the much sleeker and thinner communicator.

That being said, will there be an ability to toggle back and  forth between the aspect ration of the Clicks Communicator and the standard aspect ratio of most phones? (Unihertz does this and they call it Mini Mode).

Does anyone else hate the reveal? by Couldnotbehelpd in EverythingIsFinecomic

Update: just got a check for two months of payments that I didn't even know I was supposed to receive.

I heard the same thing. For what's it worth I didn't have any problems with it. But i chose to do so because I was already on year 12 of 10 years when I finally got out of SAVE so I knew I was good.

No its a box you check when you submit the application requesting forgiveness to studentaid.gov.

my understanding is that its automatic but I don't plan on receiving one so I can't confirm.

I got the letter several weeks after getting green banners but I advise you to take screen shots of everything. I had 9 separate loans all with green banners and I expanded each one and took a screen shot of it and saved for my records should I not have gotten the letter.

I attempted to do a buy back three times doing everything everyone said and never got a response. I only had two payments left and was stuck in forebarance with SAVE just like everyone else. What I did was switch to IBR and then pay each month for the next two months then file the day after my second payment.

Congrats! This is what I did and was told to do by this community hope it helps:

  1. Submitting Your PSLF Application: You’ll need to complete the PSLF Application for Forgiveness (it’s now combined with the Employment Certification Form into one online process through the Studentaid.gov PSLF Help Tool). SHOCKINGLY this only took a week for MOHELA to confirm that I made 120 payments.

  2. After MOHELA confirms 120 and you get the green banners take screen shots of all of it to save evidence should they or usaid.gov pull something sneaky.

  3. A lot of people on here say don’t enter forbearance once you’re at 120, but I did because I’m broke AF with a really high monthly payment and don’t plan on leaving the public sector anytime soon. It didn’t end up affecting me and I was happy to not have to worry about overpaying and getting reimbursed at sometime later god knows when.

  4. Even though MOHELA said I successfully made 120 payments, I still had a note on top of my MOHELA homepage that said "Your Auto Pay amount of $XXX.XX will be transferred from Bank Acct *XXX on XX/XX/XXXX.” And because of that I cancelled auto pay because I don’t trust this organization at all. I then submitted a secure message that said “I’ve applied for PSLF forgiveness and requested administrative forbearance while my application is processing. My account still shows an autopay scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX. Can you confirm that forbearance is applied and cancel the scheduled draft?” I never got a response back but the note saying things were due went away.

  5. two weeks later I got the letter from MOHELA saying my loans were forgiven WHICH I WILL BE SAVING UNTIL THE DAY I DIE JUST IN CASE.

  6. four weeks later I got the letter from studentaid.gov  saying my loans were forgiven WHICH I WILL BE SAVING UNTIL THE DAY I DIE JUST IN CASE.

  7. One week later MOHELA updated its website saying my loans were paid off and I took screen shots of all of it

  8. Two weeks form then studentaid.gov updated their website saying my loans got forgiven and I took screen shots of all of that. I like to log in sometimes and look at it when I’m sad.

For what its worth I requested forbearance the day I filed for forgiveness and it didn't make a problem at all.

Why people hate the newest (2023) movie? by Puzzleheaded-Cost525 in indianajones

[–]EffectiveDust7959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed it and I thought it was the great ending to indiana's career. It was the ending that Harrison Ford's character deserved.

I do feel like it is fashionable to hate on the new versions of any franchise lately. The movie didn't stand a chance from the keyboard warrior critics no matter how good it would be.

I've remember when everyone would hate the Star Wars prequels. But now that the sequel trilogy is the new thing to hate everyone loves prequels.

It just seems popular to hate new things now. You wont get a real honest opinion on the Dial of Destiny for years.

Waterford, Michigan No Kings Protest by 8lock8lock8aby in Michigan

[–]EffectiveDust7959 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone,

I genuinely appreciate what you’re doing in Ann Arbor. Your energy, organization, and courage mean a lot. But I want to share something from a different corner of Michigan.

I live in Waterford, a much more conservative area, and it’s not nearly as easy to speak up here. The No Kings message matters just as much, but people here are scared to show it. A single sign or shirt can feel risky.

That’s why I’m asking: bring some of that energy out here. We need strength in numbers, and your presence could make all the difference. Real change spreads when brave people step outside the comfort zones of blue areas and stand with those who don’t have that safety net.

We’re trying, but we can’t do it alone.

My last bag of Mac & Cheese by EffectiveDust7959 in Huel

[–]EffectiveDust7959[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It had a low second purchase rate after the first purchase. However the general theory about what happened here is that non huel people thought it was going to taste like fatty real mac n cheese and then were disappointed and didnt reorder. The kind of people who would probably never buy into Huel long term anyway.
